After a routine system restart due to display driver crash my Mozilla Firefox ceased to work, displaying a broken link. After some messing around I decided to reinstall the application, but when I did it was an entirely new instance with none of my local saved data (bookmarks, passwords, history etc). I've been able to restore my bookmarks, but not my passwords. I've found the relevant key4.db and logins.json files pertaining to the older intall, but I have no idea how (if possible) to install them, and I assume there would only be a compiled csv if I created it.
Help!

The Firefox Sync system is really neat for keeping our booksmarks synced across devices, but what I would also love to see is the option to sync all settings as well, including the changes made in the "about:config" settings.
Across my years of browsing I changed quite a lot of small little things and having to track all of those down every time I set up a new device or reinstall windows can get a bit tedious, so I was wondering if those settings can also be included in the Sync settings somehow - or if such a feature might be planned for the future?
I've lost all my bookmarks (built up for years), tried to upgrade Firefox, but didn't help.

Hi!
After computer reset I can't open my Firefox, it keeps showing that it's crashing. I have a few really important tabs there and would like to know if it's possible to reinstall it and still keep my tabs from previous session?
Thank you, Tijana

Thanks to a Microsoft update my PC had to have Windows reinstalled causing me to lose all my apps. I have reinstalled Firefox on the PC but of course, all my bookmarks and passwords are missing. I had set up syncing between my PC and my Android mobile devices (phone and tablet). Can I restore or sync from the mobile device back to the PC? I have searched and found nothing. Even when signed into Firefox on the phone, it does not bring up "Sync" when I go to settings. I truly appreciate your help.

Dear Firefox,
I have just reinstalled my operating system after some issues. After reinstalling my browser, I logged into my browser after changing the password, but now no data is being synced. The open tabs, bookmarks and saved passwords were the most important, but none of that has synced back. After waiting for a little bit I decided to press the synchronize now button, but that also didn't do anything. Is there perhaps something wrong with the syncing right now? Or is there another way to get that data back? I didn't save it as I normally don't have to.
Thank you for your reply!
Kind regards, Lili

I often use the Sync function to bring open tabs over from my smartphone to my desktop computer. I have noticed over the past month or so, this functionality has become increasingly unreliable and sometimes does not function at all. At the moment I have no synced tabs showing on my desktop. I have signed out and back in to Mozilla on both my smartphone and desktop multiple times, checked the sync settings, and nothing seems to resolve this. There have been a couple Firefox updates on both the desktop and mobile side, none of which have changed this behavior.
Has anyone else been experiencing this? What other trouble shooting steps can I perform? Any help is much appreciated.

Hi,
My laptop had broken and I had to reinstall Windows. All of my files had been lost on the C drive, including Firefox bookmarks. Sadly there weren't any backup json files anywhere else. Is there a way to recover those bookmarks somehow?
Thank you, János

There is a session with 15 important tabs. Previously, all 15 tabs were restored when closing and then opening.
But now, when closing and opening, the following happens: 1) The first time you click on Mozilla startup, nothing opens.Clicking again opens the home page.And everything. 2)When you click on launch, the home page opens.And everything.
In both cases, pressing Ctrl+Shift+t restores the previous session with 15 tabs.
The error appeared unexpectedly.There were no critical sorties.Mozilla's version is the latest.Tell me how to fix it.

When I sync my Firefox account, my old data, themes, and add-ons come back. There are add-ons, themes, passwords, and usernames from 3-4 years ago that I no longer use. How can I reset my sync data and sync again? In short, there is an 'overwrite' situation; the old data remains while the new data is synced over it.

I use Firefox on Ubuntu Linux, and it works fine.
For unrelated reasons I have created a new Linux Mint 22 boot partition, and I would like to use the same Firefox profile on both Linux OS-s, without having to move or copy the existing profile I use on Ubuntu. (The profile is placed on a third independent data partition!) I cannot find any information on how to do it. All information I find involves moving the profile, but then Firefox on Ubuntu would not be able to continue to use it.
I look forward to hear from you. Thank you. :-)

We deploy Firefox via a software called Pulseway and last night it reinstalled Firefox over the current installation for one of our users. When he logged in this morning, all his data was missing from the browser as it appears to be a fresh installation. I'm unable to find his previous profile in the AppData folders (checked by going to about:profiles and opened each profile). There is no backup for this info, and he did not have a Sync account set up. Is there anywhere else I could possible recover this data for the user? Thanks in advance.

The font size in "Manage Bookmarks" is way too large, both in the sections list menu on the left and the list of bookmarks. I checked my userChrome.css file as well as the layout.css.devPixelsPerPx entry in about:config and there's nothing there to explain why only the "Manage Bookmarks" text is so large.
It's possible I changed a setting somewhere that's causing this. But I'm stumped re: what setting might be controlling the font size in only that UI. All other Firefox text sizes are good.
Thanks to anyone who knows where I should be looking

I’ve been using Firefox on my Mac without any issues, but I recently had to erase and reset my Mac. After reinstalling Firefox and attempting to sign in to my account, I am unable to sync my data.
When I click “Sign in” and enter my password, I successfully log in. However, it immediately returns to the message “Please sign in to reconnect,” and I am unable to proceed with syncing.
This is the first time I’ve encountered this issue.
On a positive note, I can still see my organized bookmarks on Firefox for iPhone, which were synced from my Mac before the reset.

I've just transferred from one Windows 10 install to another, and wanted to transfer my Firefox profiles along with me. Initially when I transferred over my main profile, the addons worked at first but broke after a short while (specifically there were still as many addon buttons in my toolbar as before, but they were all blank and did nothing), and wouldn't restore after shutting down and reopening Firefox. At first I tried disabling and reenabling each extension, and that worked, but after shutting down and reopning Firefox, they were all broken again. I looked for fixes and tried the solutions in this ask: https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/questions/1260445; first, I tried jscher2000's solution of "deleting" extensions.json by renaming it, but it only fixed a couple addons (BitWarden and uBlock Origin, mainly). Then I tried cor-el's solution of deleting combatibility.ini, and that still only had BitWarden, uBlock Origin, and maybe one or two others working - it also seemed to slightly further the problem, as the toolbar was now set to default without even the blank addon buttons, and the extensions overflow button now just opened about:addons.
But, then I deleted the profile and copied it over again, but this time I preemptively went into extensions.json and changed all the paths to the new correct path (I also did so for the one path address in pkcs11.txt just in case, because it was the only other thing that came up in a search in the profile folder that had that hard-baked full path that might need updating; I don't know what pkcs11.txt does but I just wanted to be sure), and then (not sure if this part matters quite as much) did Create a New Profile and selected that existing copied-over folder as the folder for that profile to use. Lo and behold, all my addons worked! And they've continued to work as normal and not break through several times of closing and reopening both that specific profile and Firefox overall, and even with a couple shut downs and restarts of Windows.
However..... I tried doing that exact procedure (copying over profile folder, editing the paths in extensions.json and pkcs11.txt to be the new correct ones, Create a New Profile and selecting that folder) for my secondary profile, and yet still most addons end up nonfunctional with a defaulted toolbar and extension overflow button opening about:addons just like in the main profile after I did the compatibility.ini fix (even though I didn't even touch it on this profile). After several tries of doing that with differences in naming of the new profile, or also trying to delete compatibility.ini, still I got the same result. Then I tried doing the "disable and then reenable each extension" thing again like I tried first on my primary profile, and it brought the extensions back and in their correct order in the toolbar, but when I exited Firefox and reopened it, they were back to the multitude of blank buttons (which, at least, was a change from before). I have no idea what's different, as far as I'm aware I'm doing the exact same thing that worked on the first profile yet it's still ending up broken.
I've also now tried copying over a third profile in the same manner, and it works perfectly just like the first/primary profile did. But the second profile still just will not work.
